Singapore's Healthcare System

angry doc would like to draw his readers' attention to two informative articles on Singapore's healthcare system.The first, via The Singapore Daily, compares the different funding models in the US and the Singaporean system, as well as their respective successes.The second, via Dr Crippen, is an interview with the director of Healthcare Services at the Singapore Tourism Board which describes Singapore's healthcare system in a way that is easy to understand; angry doc must say he learnt a fact or two from the interview himself.Do have a read.

The good doctor Yap did not explain why he thinks that the solution to overcrowded public hospitals where people have to wait at the Emergency Dept around 12 hours to get a bed is to attract more patients (from overseas)!
